HOUSTON - Hosting a Super Bowl brings a lot to the host city - economic growth, more than 1 million visitors and the eyes of the world upon it for one Sunday in February.

But for the host city team it brings pressure.

“It’s never happened that the host team played in the Super Bowl,” Texans Owner Bob McNair said. “So we’d like to break that record. That would be wonderful.”

The Texans, who suffered a first-round exit from the playoffs via a 30-0 shutout by the Kansas City Chiefs this past season, have some work to do if they want to make that possible.

For McNair it starts at the quarterback position.

“We need to have reliable play at quarterback,” McNair said. “We don’t need a superstar there but it needs to be reliable play that won’t take anything away from us.”

Another area McNair said they will address is the lack of a running game, but does credit the Texans’ defense for continuing to be strong but will also look to improve that area.

As for the quarterback, multiple mock drafts have projected the Texans taking a quarterback in the NFL Draft and McNair believes there are plenty of options to choose from.

“Well there are a number of quarterbacks out there,” McNair said. “College quarterbacks coming out and I think we have a good chance at getting one of them. There are four or five of them that look like they have enough talent, size and athletic ability.”
